I appreciate the responses guys. FWIW I went with a D5 cuz I found one for a good price. The move to SFF will be a custom case designed by myself anyways, so if I am running into space issues and need to re-evaluate I will.

This is a pretty sweet idea. I know they are just renderings, but what would be your plan for that type of lighting? Using translucent plastic with discrete LEDs, or some other method?

My thought would really just be to replace the heatsink with basically a waterblock on the bottom of the pump. I don't know if that has been done or could be done in a space efficient manner Deimos, is the DDC really that bad? I understand that this is a highly debated topic in the...

Hey guys, First post, hello! I've been doing lots of research on getting my first watercooled system going. For the pump, I am leaning towards the DDC for the sole reason that I intend to move towards an SFF case sometime in the near ish future. Everything I have seen recommends a heatsink...
